Marking Scheme

Webworks

There will be approximately 12 webwork assignments, 10 of which will count toward the Webworks component. Each webwork will have approximately 15 questions. As the questions are different for each student, students are strongly encouraged to work on webworks together. To access webwork, click here.

Assignment Policies

There will be approximately 6 assignments, 5 of which will count toward the Assignments component. The worst assignment mark will be dropped.

Assignments will be collected at the beginning of the class. Late or missed assignments will result in a mark of zero.

Students are allowed (and encouraged) to collaborate on assignments but make sure that the work submitted is your own.

Final Info

Time:

12:00 - 14:30 Dec 6, 2014

Location:

Chemical and Biological Engineering Building Room 101

Here are some past final exams of the MATH 105 course. Note that some questions relate to materials that are no longer part of the syllabus. Next to each exam is a list of questions that you may ignore.

Please do NOT infer anything from these exams (except that it *can* be very hard!). They do NOT reflect the length, difficulty, format, type of questions of our final exam. You should treat these as extra practise questions only!

Midterm Info

Midterm 1

Time:

15:30 - 16:20 Oct 2, 2014

Location:

Midterm 1 will cover materials listed in Weeks 1-3 Learning Goals, that is, those from Sections 12.1, 12.2, 12.4, 12.8 and 12.9. Note that this also include some topics on vectors, and differentiation rules. There will be NO formula sheets allowed or provided for this midterm. Please refer to the week-by-week learning goals for precise lists of topics you should know for this midterm.

Midterm 2

Time:

15:30 - 16:20 Oct 30, 2014

Exam policies

Midterms are non-cumulative; the chapters that will be covered on each midterm will be announced in class. The final exam is based on the entire syllabus of the course.

Student IDs must be presented at both midterms and the final examination.

No unauthorized electronic devices will be allowed in the midterms or in the final exam. This includes calculators, cell phones, music players, and all communication devices. Students should not bring their own formula sheets or other memory aids. Common formula sheets may be provided to all students depending on the materials covered, in which case the contents of the formula sheet will be disclosed in class prior to the exam.

If a student misses a midterm, that student shall provide a documented excuse or a mark of zero will be entered for that midterm. Examples of valid excuses are an illness which has been documented by a physician and Student Health Services, or an absence to play a varsity sport, in which case a letter from your coach should be provided. There will be no make-up midterms, and the weight of the missed midterm will be transferred to the final examination. To be eligible for this arrangement, you must notify the instructor within a week of the missed midterm with appropriate documentation for your absence. Please note that a student may not have 100% of their assessment based on the final examination. A student who has not completed a substantial portion of the term work normally shall not be admitted to the final examination.

If a student misses a final examination, that student will need to present the situation to your faculty's Advising Office to be considered for a deferred exam. Your performance in the course up to the exam will be taken into consideration in granting a deferred exam status. For deferred exams in mathematics, students generally will write in the next available exam of the same course, which can be several months after the original exam.

Review on Vectors

Section 11.1: 23-47, 59-62.
Section 11.2: 4, 5, 39-50, 67-70.

Course contents

This section contains a list of problems from the textbook. These are not to be turned in, but working through them will help crystallize the concepts covered in class. Not all parts of a textbook section will be emphasized equally in lectures, and these problems serve as guidelines for identifying the important and relevant parts that constitute the course syllabus. Exam questions will be largely modelled on these problems.

Academic Misconduct

UBC takes cheating incidents very seriously. After due investigation, students found guilty of cheating on tests and examinations are usually given a final grade of 0 in the course and suspended from UBC for one year.

Note that academic misconduct includes misrepresentating a medical excuse or other personal situation for the purposes of postponing an examination or otherwise obtaining an academic concession.
